    WHEN WINTER CALLS (2005)
    Aubrey Atwater and Elwood Donnelly are again full of surprises in their ninth CD as they explore traditional American and Celtic folk music with a winter holiday theme. Recorded live in December 2004 at the Blackstone River Theatre in Cumberland, RI, this beautifully recorded concert is filled with deeply rooted songs of winter, travel, longing, worship, rest, light, and celebration. Gorgeous, seasoned voices blend with skillful instrumentation on mountain dulcimer, old-time banjo, guitar, harmonica, tin whistle, feet, limberjacks, and spoons.
    Happy holidays!

about

Coventry Carol
Traditional English Carol, said to have originated in the fifteenth century Coventry play, The Pageant Of the Shearmen and the Tailors.
The tune first appeared around 1591

lyrics

Lulle, Lullay, thou little tiny Child
Bye-bye, lulle, lullay;
Lullay, thou little tiny Child,
Bye-bye, lulle, lullay.

Oh sisters two, how may we do
For to preserve this day
This poor youngling for whom we do sing
Bye-bye, lulle, lullay.

Herod, the King, in his raging,
Charged he hath this day
His men of might, in his own sight
All children young to slay.

Then woe is me, poor Child, for thee,
And ever mourn and pray,
For thy parting, nor say nor sing
Bye-bye, lulle, lullay.
